Description

Explore the complex minds of other animals, including chimpanzees, dolphins, elephants, and octopuses. Every day scientists are making new discoveries about memory, intelligence, perception, and social relationships in animals. This course looks at what we know about how other animal minds are the same as — and different from — our own.

One of four “Special Topics in Cognition” courses offered this summer, this class is an excellent choice for students interested in psychology, cognitive science, or neuroscience. Appropriate both for those who have taken previous psychology / cognition courses and those who haven’t. Join us also for Human Evolution, Linguistics of Sign Language, and Neurodiversity.

Notes to Parents:

This course is intended for students at the high-school level.

If you have questions about whether this course is right for your child, please contact the instructor, Dr. Meg, at mlwilson@cruzio.com

From parents and students…

She has loved her experiences with you at Athena’s. They have been the perfect transition from the classroom…She has felt that the Athena’s environment is the best of both worlds; she can still learn with experts and true peers in a classroom, but doesn’t have to spend so many hours of her day to get that experience. She is free to move at her own pace and to pursue other passions and activities with the many hours that have been freed up by being able to learn at home and with Athena’s.
